Annoying Canker Sores

My son is six and he's into basketball.. He knows the names of NBA players more than I do. Just this month, he joined a summer training for basketball with my cousin as his coach. Two days ago, he got sores on his lips.At first, I wasn't bothered until I got to see it last night and whoa! was I surprised.His lips have swollen and the sores were "I think" way too big for him to have them. I've never even experienced having those big sores my entire life!

I read an article today and learned that having canker sores can be hereditary. I realized that my husband often gets them and oh boy were they big and literally annoying. Perhaps it answers why my son has them at a very young age. I also found out that stress can also cause these sores to appear.

Because my husband has often got them, he has tried a lot of ways treating them. He has used salt but says it wasn't effective. He prefers to use alum powder but admits it is really painful when applied to the sores. There are also canker sore drops now available in drugstores which can treat these really annoying sores.

Wash and wear....wear..wear...wear then wash...hmmmm...

I hate washing long jeans...they're heavy and hurt my arms every time I washed them. I know that's why we have washing machines nowadays - it makes doing laundry easier but on the other hand, you can't get away with higher electricity bills.

I came across some wonderful tips on washing laundry this morning and I'd like to share them to you. I hope you find it worth noting as I did
